Are you getting bored of your current bedroom and just want to totally change everything? Or maybe you just want a new look. Here’s what I would do if I had little cash looking to redecorate.

Start by cleaning out the bedroom. Remove anything cluttering the space / unnecessary. Things like paper and such laying around. Remove extra furniture like chairs or tables in the room. You want minimal furnishing, it should literally just be your bed, nightstand, drawer, and maybe a single chair.

The easiest thing you can do to change a bedroom is to paint it. Painting the trims, walls, and EVEN the ceiling can be an exciting look. There’s no reason why you couldn’t accent only one wall. Maybe you don’t want to spend all that time doing all four walls. Try and accenting just the back wall where your bed is laying on. Once you’ve chosen a color accenting bedsheets/pillows become easier and they look great too!

And maybe painting is just totally out of the question. I mean it is a lot of work. Why not try buying wallpaper? If you know exactly what you’re looking for and you have the dimension for your wall, buying wallpaper on Amazon or even Ebay can save you lots of money. Cheaper wallpapers can range from 20-50. Cheaper ones tend to mean out of production so warehouses are just trying to get rid of them.

So now technically we have only spent money on paint/wallpaper which is under 70 dollars. (depends on how many walls your painting) A quart of paint covers about 100 square feet. You would have enough for a wall which is 15 dollars.

But besides painting, added molding can be also inexpensive. You can easily add a nice decorative cove molding to a ceiling if you don’t already have one. They come in kits which contain multiple length for you to cut into specific length for your walls. Multiple pieces can be added to fit a wall and they look as if they were one piece
